I disagree. We install RHEL remotely all of the time. We use Red Hat
Satellite server and a custom boot CD ISO image. You must have one of two
things:
1. A new machine with a seed OS (We use Dell R710 that come with a RHEL
seed OS factory installed).
2. Someone to mount the custom boot CD. (Even if the machine is remote,
there had to be someone to 'rack, stack, and cable' the server.)
If you don't have a support contract from Red Hat, there is a open source
clone of the Red Hat Satellite server. Check out the documentation.

Hi -
I further agree.
Since I try to use RHEL exclusively, I've even gotten GRUB to boot pxe kernels with kernel options essentially booting the machine in to that Anaconda install mode. It sits there on an IP, waiting for a VNC connection, and for me to continue the install. This is a great option when, for instance, your co-location or Web Hosting provider only installs Debian, and you want to install RHEL or CentOS *cough*.
I'd say to ask for a more specific questions. What is your exact situation? You've skirted a lot of details; the best we can do right now is take bad guesses.

Yes it is so long as you can get an ISO of the install media transferred to the VM host machine. Alternatively you could build the VM locally and transfer the VMImage of the built machine to the remote VMserver then use the VSphere client to import the VM

"It depends".......
If you have some hardware way to get console over the network, then it
can be done. KVM's, special cards (Dell DRAC) etc.
PXE boot could also be used, with the proper boot feed.
But, it requires foresight and planning to get remote install working.**
